I was a trans kid who came out several times pre-puberty. I can’t talk about my resulting “male socialization” without really awful, dark content. “Male socialization” is traumatic for trans girls, esp when you get extra bc you act too feminine and/or say you’re a girl out loud.

“Male socialization” almost killed me. Fuck transphobes and their incessant need to talk over trans women about our own experiences. They prey on us by desperately trying to paint US as predators! Oh wicked irony.

(I usually write #ProtectTransKids tweets to channel these feels)

Imagine telling the adults you were a girl, being forced boy using “male socialization” (homebrew conversion therapy), peaking w/ER surgery, repressing 25 yrs, FINALLY transitioning(!!!)...only to have Karens yelling about how you were “socialized male.”

These are awful people.
